Kandi Burruss<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Todd Tucker<\/strong>\u00a0broke their silence about rumors that they are heading for a divorce.<\/p>\n During an exclusive interview with\u00a0Us Weekly<\/em>\u00a0about their Broadway revival of\u00a0The Wiz<\/em>, Burruss, 47, recalled finding out about the blind item from\u00a0her 21-year-old daughter Riley, whom she shares with ex\u00a0Russell Spencer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cRiley actually sent it to me. She was like, \u2018Why do people keep saying that y\u2019all about to get divorced?\u2019 I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know,’\u201d Burruss said during a joint interview with Tucker, 50.<\/p>\n Burruss had a theory about\u00a0what caused the speculation, adding, \u201cI think it came from Todd and I on his YouTube. We were doing this thing called Todd and the Glam Squad where I would get my hair and makeup done [and] he would sit and we would talk about hot topics or relationship issues.\u201d<\/p>\n While discussing the collaboration, Tucker noted that he and Burruss are good at debating topics. The couple have since questioned whether viewers were unable to tell the difference between everyday conversations\u00a0and serious marriage woes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re passionate when we go back and forth. I think people kind of mistook that to say we were angry with each other. But we\u2019re [just] debating the topic. We\u2019re going back and forth about this,\u201d Burruss explained. \u201cI\u2019ve been like that my whole life. As soon as we have a back and forth, I can walk out the room and be like, \u2018OK, now what are we doing next?\u2019 Whereas I guess to somebody that\u2019s watching it, they are thinking that it\u2019s more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n Tucker, who\u00a0shares son Ace, 7, and daughter Blaze, 3, with Burruss, agreed with his wife.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re analyzing [it like], \u2018Wow, he said this.\u2019 Or his posture.\u2019 You know how they do,\u201d Tucker, who also shares 27-year-old daughter Kaela with an ex, added. \u201cBut it was just good, fun conversation and people just took it wrong. I was like, \u2018We are with each other every day.\u2019 It\u2019s not like, \u2018I haven\u2019t seen him together. His ring isn\u2019t on or something.’\u201d<\/p>\n In response, Burruss pointed out that she is actually the one who often doesn\u2019t wear her ring, saying, \u201cToday I do. But they\u2019ll be like, \u2018Why doesn\u2019t she have on her ring?\u2019 I hardly ever have it on. He always has his on. If he doesn\u2019t have it on \u2014 then it\u2019s going to be a problem. That\u2019s going to be a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair, who wed in 2014 (Tucker\u00a0was on the crew of\u00a0RHOA<\/em>), try not to concern themselves with speculation about their relationship. Tucker, however, noted that it can be hard to block out the noise.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is tough. You\u2019re always on stage and you can\u2019t really kind of relax out in public,\u201d he admitted to Us. \u201cBut for me, I think from doing reality TV early on with her, I really don\u2019t pay it any more. We know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Burruss and Tucker,\u00a0the secret to a successful marriage\u00a0is all about working together.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a better communicator than I am. I\u2019m one of those people where if I get in a mood, I kind of shut down,\u201d she detailed. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk until I\u2019ve completely calmed down because I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll say something that I didn\u2019t want to say and it comes off harsh. But he likes to communicate and get it all out. He really helps us get through it because we have to talk through it.\u201d<\/p>\n Tucker elaborated on his approach, saying, \u201cWhat I try to do, I try to reverse things and put myself in her shoes. \u2026 It\u2019s a lot of work. It\u2019s a lot of work. But the thing is it\u2019s fun and 10 years went by so fast. It could have been a long 10 years, but it has been an amazing ride.\u201d<\/p>\n Burruss and Tucker don\u2019t just collaborate on their marriage. The twosome have famously found success mixing business with pleasure over the years \u2014\u00a0appearing on\u00a0The Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/em>, opening their Old Lady Gang restaurant, producing Kandi & the Gang and more. Now, Burruss and Tucker are kicking it up a notch by joining the producing team for The Wiz.<\/p>\n \u201cWe bounce ideas off each other really well at times. I think I have just the most amazing ideas. She kind of lets me believe it for a little bit,\u201d Tucker joked. \u201cBut I just think we are yin and yang. We keep everything kind of grounded and level.\u201d<\/p>\n While producing the Broadway revival of\u00a0The Wiz<\/em>, it was important for Burruss and Tucker to bring the Black narrative to the stage for a fresh take on the story.\u00a0The Wiz<\/em>, which premiered on April 17, stars\u00a0Wayne Brady, Deborah Cox\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Nichelle Lewis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was my favorite musical of all time,\u201d Burruss said of the show, a take on the\u00a0Wizard of Oz<\/em>, which first premiered on Broadway in 1903. \u201c[It is] a classic. And we got to show love to our producing partner\u00a0Brian Moreland<\/strong>\u00a0because he was like, \u2018Hey, what do you guys think about bringing back The Wiz?; And I was like, \u2018I\u2019m in. Let\u2019s make it happen.’\u201d<\/p>\n Burruss discussed how working on the stage production took her back to her childhood. \u201cI saw the movie version [with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson] when I was younger so I just used to watch it over and over and over,\u201d she continued. \u201cI knew every song. I knew every move. It was that musical for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Tucker also called the collaboration a \u201cno brainer,\u201d adding, \u201cFrom the music, the costumes to just the whole story. It\u2019s a classic. \u2026 My mom actually took me to the original. I was real little so I don\u2019t remember everything, but I remember it being a little scary back then. But then once the movie came out with\u00a0Michael Jackson\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Diana Ross<\/strong>, it\u2019s kind of like, \u2018Wow.’\u201d<\/p>\n The duo also highlighted their vision, which focused on keeping\u00a0the essence of the story while incorporating\u00a0some changes.<\/p>\n \u201cI think our version of\u00a0The Wiz<\/em>\u00a0is so much funnier and it\u2019s so much more relatable to today\u2019s times because a lot of the jokes kind of refer to things that are happening now and she just made it current and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cWe did a great job with just casting an amazing cast. Everybody can sing and they\u2019re all incredible vocally. But even the dancers in the background \u2014 everybody can sing. That\u2019s what somebody said to me the other day, they were like, \u2018I think it\u2019s crazy how even your dancers can sing. That\u2019s great.\u2019 Everybody is doing everything in this show and it really makes it fun and interactive and makes you want to get up and sing with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kandi Burruss\u00a0and\u00a0Todd Tucker\u00a0broke their silence about rumors that they are heading for a divorce.
